Fiscal Court approves firefighter pay increases tied to certifications

Simpson County Fiscal Court · August 4, 2026

Summary

Six firefighter pay increases were approved as employee resolutions on Aug. 4; raises are linked to specific certifications (Instructor I, IFSAC aerial/pumper/MWS, officer, driver promotion, Swiftwater Technician) and reflect amounts authorized in the 2026–2027 budget.

Fiscal Court approved six employee resolutions (2026-08-04EMP FSFR1 through FSFR6) that increase firefighter salaries after those employees earned designated certifications. The minutes list each employee and the certifications tied to their pay increase (for example, Justin McMillan: Fire Instructor 1, IFSAC Aerial, Driver Promotion & IFSAC Officer 1).

The court recorded each resolution with a motion and unanimous approval. The minutes note that pay increase amounts differ by employee depending on the certifications they completed and that these raises reflect allocations already included in the 2026–2027 budget.
